It's an alright movie. I decided to watch this due to the tiktok trend on the scene at the very beginning where Elise meets Frank for the first time. Do I feel my time has been wasted? No. I like how nostalgic this movie is, I'm 24 and the movies from the 2000s (although this is 2010) remind me of a simpler time. I quite enjoyed the movie, it's not amazing but it was nice to watch it while getting work done. I think both main actors gave a good performance. Angelina Jolie was very convincing in her role, enough for anyone to swoon over, no doubt Frank did. Johnny Depp was good as a bumbling American idiot, very different from his usual eccentric roles that I know him by. I like that Paul Bettany's performance wasn't bad either, this is definitely before he became a bigger name but it seems like he was never a bad actor to begin with. I think other than this is a very regular movie with good performances, the whole middle section with the Italian police and on was kinda boring. Started to feel like...what's going on now? Why is the time just ticking. But it wraps up well, and the ending was predictable the moment we got to the last scene. Yet, I enjoyed it. 6/10, would not watch again but enjoyed watching it as a time pass. Would recommend to another if they also just wanted a time pass or to see Angelina Jolie being enchanting.
